Intent: To create a One Sith artillery ship along side its sister ship
Development Thread:

• Grand Theft Starship

Manufacturer: Sasori Research
Model: Long Nine Class T
Affiliation: Order of the Silver Jedi
Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Material:

• Durasteel (hull)
• Quardanian Steel (frame)
• Transparasteel (viewports)

Description: Built fashioned as an artillery platform in space. Balaya looked at what might be needed and heavy support ships to compliment their darkblades was one of them. So two ships, built similar except for the armaments (one using ion and one turbolasers) were built. The bulk of extra equipment for the ship removed that it didn't need, hanger space given over to supplying power needed for the weapons. Forward facing long range heavy quad guns built for pounding enemy ships affixed on the nose of the ship with three octet defense guns for enemy fighters that might get into range to damage it. The Ship is lightly armored slow and lumbering but not made for going into a combat zone instead sitting far outside it and adjusting range as needed to have the best effective targetting solutions. This can be aided by boarding parties tagging a ship with transponders to identify targets of interest but that is up to the sith boarding craft and their soldiers.

First and foremost, you forgot to list what size class of ship this is. Assault is noted, but not what size category. I know the length is listed, but it took me a minute for it to click that this is a heavy cruiser, not a light star destroyer.

Second, your guns will require tech submissions. As of this minor announcement, any guns with gun counts over 40 will require a tech submission. Once the guns are approved, link them on this submission, please.

Also, you list this submission as Minor production, but only state two ships exist in the description. Can you clarify this?

[member="Popo"] I am editing the gun I miscounted sorry I thought it was 10 (long range) x 4 (quad which was the limit.

For the ship it is in minor production and it one of two types. An Ion long range ship and a turbolaser long range ship. So a fleet of Dark Blades could have support in the background out of range as artillery.

Just a quick one, a long range (x5) heavy (x2) Turbolaser is worth 10 guns. You either want 24 of these, or to make them dual cannons.

In fact, as you've given up your warheads, you could have 30 of those cannons. (or 15 dual)
